Food Allergy??

Yikes! Sounds like her first official "overflow" experience. I would try to keep the formula amount pretty constant and try to give her other chewy stuff to sooth her teeth. I used to take about 6 baby washcloths, wet them, fold into quarters and put in a ziplock in the freezer. My son LOVED to chew away at those when he was teething. Good luck! Poor Gabby!

Kudos to D. P...I did the washcloth thing too. I would suggest giving your baby other things to chew on instead of more bottles....there will be days when she need them, but not everyday. Sounds to me as if she ate too much. No biggie. My three old will sometimes want a cup of milk, and then another one right after, and then she will cough and it all will all come back up....I know grose, but that is because she really did not need that second cup....Good luck

It sounds like she overate. Mine has done the same thing in the past. There's nothing like orange/yellow tinged vomit/spit up. Will she take a pacifier? My 6 month old never took one until one month ago when her teething began. Now it helps a lot. Good luck!

Hi D.,

Hold up feeding your baby so much. Look up some foods to feed your baby on the internet.

starting a baby on foods ususally starts at 6 months and then go slow. Use light foods first before going into the heavy foods like squash, sweet potatoes, etc.

Something like rice, apple sauce, fruits. take one at a time though.

Hope this helps. Good luck D.

Okay, let me start with a fact you might not know. It is impossible for any human (as far as I know there are no exceptions) to drink a gallon of milk without vomiting. My brother and his friends proved this on several occasions in college when they had contests to see who could keep it down the longest (I believe he won but inevitably they all through up).

That being said, it sounds like she really wanted to suck and possibly felt hungry. I would try a serving of cereal around 7 pm. See if this slows the formula binge down. I really think that it was probaby the amount of formula she had in a short period of time.

That being said, you still want to watch how she reacts tot he new food and see if she does it again without the extra formula. However, vomiting is not usually a symptom of an allergy. That doesn't mean that it never is but it usually isn't. Also, there is usually more than just one symptom. You would probably see some stomache upset earlier than you did, some congestion or a rash. Like I said, usually. That doesn't mean that it wasn't. But given the milk/formula intake, I would venture to say it was probably the large amount of formula in a short time. My son has done this to me a couple of times (He's now 15 1/2 months old). Sometimes, it during a growth spurt they really think they need that extra formula. We love our babies and give them what they want and occasionally, it is too much.

Relax, don't worry yet. Just keep track of it so that if it happens again, you can share it with her pediatrician to be sure everything is fine. At this point, to me, it sounds like to much of a good thing.

Best of luck with your little one.

I have a child with food allergies and it doesn't sound like anything I've ever seen. I'd vote for the teeth or a growth spurt that she ate more than usual. She probably spit up because she was overly full or got a bubble in her tummy that was hidden under some milk and it caused her tummy to be a bit unsettled. Squash is also something that is not a common allergy food so it's unlikely that she'd react to it.

She likely at too much trying to comfort herself and eventually vomited. An allergy to squah is very unlikely.

I would thing that she just over ate. If she normally doesn't have that 3rd bottle i would say that is what did it. Doesn't sound like a food allergy.

Hi. Im not a Dr but my daughter is allergic to peanuts and it doesnt sound to me that your situation is food allergy. I think her tummy was just too full. My little girl used to throw up on me a lot b/c she was too full.

I know my daughter broke out in hives really bad after eating peanuts, 2x. She threw up afterwards but the rash came first, immediately. But check w/ dr to be certain! Good luck!

I think she just had too much formula! Keep her on your routine that you have her on. Give her something else to chew/suck on. Cold wash rags (with your help of course) help with sore gums.

Sounds like she just had toooooo much! Might want to make sure she doesn't have a sore throat. Mine drank a lot to soothe that during colds. Poor lil Gabby. Hope shes well today!

Hi D., I would think that most of the problem is in fact due to the teething. Every kid handles teething differently, from flu like symptoms (fever, throwing up) to sucking/chewing/drooling on everything and anything they can get into their mouths to being really difficult one day then bam...there's a new tooth. With each of my three it was different. If you really think it's an allergy then wait a few days and try the squash again. If you get the same reaction (and she's taking a break from teething) then wait a few weeks before trying the squash again. Don't give up on a food (unless the doctor tells you to or the reaction is sever) forever since some allergies children can grow out of. With mine my oldest couldn't eat pineapple without throwing up until she was 6yrs old, and my youngest couldn't eat a grape or rasin...she grew out of that by the time she was 7 or so. Sometimes you just never know. Best wishes.
